    Good burgers and great service. The atmosphere was nice and friendly. We will be back again.

    really gross. Inedible,really! The picture is of the mushy tater tots and the "handbreaded/ handcut chicken tenders" ? There is no breading that I can see (or taste) these taste like what i imagine boiled chicken would be. Spongy, Bland, Chewy I don't know how you screw up chicken tenders......well, I guess I do now

    Visited before and had a lot of burger choices. Went back and the choices have dwindled, coupled with getting nickeled and dimed to death. Everything is alacarte. You want sauce=charge. An extra patty is $4 or $5. Server was good and the patty wasn't cooked rare, as requested, but there was some pink. Better places around.

    We just relocated (temporarily) to Fremont! I was craving a burger and stumbled upon this place. The atmosphere is what you'd expect for a tavern but I appreciated that it had a non bar seating area. We went in the late afternoon so it wasn't super busy. Our waitress was super nice and patient with us taking our time with the menu. We both ordered a soda but didn't really care for it. I think since the covid/illnesses we've been dealing with our taste buds just aren't the same, yet. We both ordered the burger that has jalapenos & sauteed onions. I got Cajun fries and my husband got the regular. Both were very good! There are so many menu options. We will be back!

    Thanks so much to the great crew that allowed us to host our church friendship dinner while still social distancing. Service was supper and the food was excellent

    Food is always good and the service is great. It's so loud in the dining area it's hard to hear your own group.

    We came in on Saturday night, 7/25/26 around 5:30pm before going to a concert at Acrisure. We…read moredidn't have a reservation but fortunately there was room at the bar - which is our preferred seating spot anyway. I was surprised at how long it took for the 2 hosts to greet us - as we were standing directly in front of them. They were talking to one another, and it was probably work related, but to just stand there staring at them for a couple minutes while they ignored us was awkward. When they finally talked to us they weren't very friendly. Anyway, we made our way to the bar and it was full except for 3 seats. I think the bartender waiting on us was new. He seemed like he was pretty overwhelmed/in the weeds. He greeted us quickly and brought us waters when he did, which I appreciated. I ordered a Blackeberry Bourbon Sour and my Mr had Paloma Nuestra. We both enjoyed our drinks they were refreshing and well crafted. For dinner I had a really hard time deciding! I wanted to try so many things! Our bartender said his favorite thing in the menu is the chicken and rice bowl. That was something I was considering and decided to go with that. Excellent recommendation! The chicken was flavorful and so tender. The hot peppers were a nice touch. There was a lot of food too! I couldn't finish it all. Mr had the hanger steak that was served with mushroom and asparagus risotto. He said the risotto was the best he's ever had, and I agree. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and so was the steak. The space is really nice, felt intimate without being overcrowded. We are looking forward to coming back!

    Studio Park positions itself as a premium spot for event nights at Acrisure Amphitheater, so maybe…read moreput some effort into making the "Party on the Piazza" an actual event. What a disappointment, but not nearly as much as our experience at 123 Tavern. We came in at 4:15PM before the Brandi Carlile show needing a table for a party of 8-10. The place was fully booked (but only half full at that time) except the bar (first-come, first-served). Fair enough -- but from the moment we walked up, the manager at the host stand couldn't have cared less. She quoted a two-hour wait, shut down my question about sitting outside with a flat no, and pointed us toward the bar. No sense of customer service at all. Like zero. The three of us who were there took the last open seats at the bar. Then came the real show: one bartender for the entire restaurant AND bar. He ignored us for ten minutes. My wife and friend got their beers quickly -- but my bourbon sat finished at the service station for another seven minutes while I watched the large ice cube melting as it marinated there. When I finally asked where my drink was, I got "I'm working on it." When he did finally bring it, he pushed it across the bar at me -- no apology, no eye contact, his attention on anything but me. I'll be honest about what I can't prove: I've worked in this industry a long time, and the whole thing read like my service got intentionally slow-walked. My drink held back while everyone around me was taken care of. Maybe the front manager said something after our rocky start at the host stand. Maybe they're just all bad at their jobs. I can't tell you which. I can only tell you how obvious it felt from the barstool. Everything after was the same; menus, ordering, closing out, all a slog. I had to hunt down that same manager for our check so we could get to the show, and she was all attitude, zero help. We only escaped because my wife flagged a server who found a another manager. His response to hearing all this? "I'm sorry." Nothing else. No attempt to make it right. For the first time in my life, I left $0 on a $100 tab. I'm a 25%+ tipper. That's how badly this went. Here's the thing, 123 Tavern: if you're going to bill yourself as a place to gather before events, staff the place and train your managers to act like they want customers there. Until then, I'll spend my money somewhere that values it.
